Bug Tails - "'fraidy-cat"

Last evening we enjoyed our first thunderstorms of the season. A series of them rolled through during the night. Bug spent the entire night plastered against me, trembling. (If you don’t know about Bug, he came to us as a stray a little over a year ago. We believe he had been through a lot). Old Libby just snored, on the floor, belly-up.

This morning, when I crawled out of bed, Bug stayed attached to me. When I sat at the table to suck down my first cup of coffee, he lay across my feet---not by them, on them. Same thing when I sat on the toilet. Have you ever tried to wipe with a dog across your feet?

He wanted to get in the shower with me too. I should have let him. He stinks after a long winter without a bath.

We had a little female dog named Rufus who was terrified of storms. Had to give her a tranquilizer when she got old as it would storm. She was a yorkiepoo. Lived to be 17 yrs old. Now have Percy the toy poodle. So far, he's okay. Mama has a small hound dog named "Bug" because he is "cute as a bug."
